Over the past two decades, nanofillers have attracted significant interest due to their proven
chemical, mechanical, and tribological performances. However, despite the significant …

A transient thermomechanical sliding model for the contact between elastic-plastic asperities
is established to analyze the contact behaviors of micro asperity in the sliding process …

Fretting fatigue damage is a typical material damage arising in mechanical components. In
such a damage condition, surface cracks can initiate at the surface contact zone, and under …

The two-step process of electroless plating and electrodeposition was used to successfully
prepare a bilayer composite film by electroplating a Ni–Cu–P film with hydrophobic …

In the present work, a hard solid-lubricating clad layer has been developed on Ti-6Al-4V
substrate by pre-placed powder TIG cladding technique to enhance the mechanical …

Tungsten and titanium dioxide-based alloy and composite coatings are customarily used in
tribological applications. On the contrary, copper-based alloy coatings are preferable for anti …

The water-lubricated stern tube bearings play a considerable role in the marine propulsion
system. Due to poor mechanical properties and temperature resistance, polymer materials …

The impact of corrosion is widespread, affecting structures, equipment, and infrastructure
across various industries increasing the maintenance cost and thereby decreasing profit and …

Univariate and multivariate optimizations of a novel electroless nickel formulation have been
carried out by means of the Taguchi method. From the compositional point of view …

The complexity of the operating conditions in oil fields requires the development and use of
materials with unique properties. This paper presents the study results for nickel-based …
